HydroWIRES initiative helps water stakeholders reap the full benefit of hydropower’s superpower: versatility

Researchers are bridging hydropower data gaps for unrivaled forecasting precision to support grid resilience.

IrrigationViz is a visual decision-support tool that provides users with high-level estimates for irrigation modernization projects, such as concrete lining for a canal or replacing a canal with a pipeline.

Our nation’s critical infrastructure supports the security and wellbeing of our society. Maintaining the resilience of important markets and services is vital to upholding our way of life.  

The RD2C laboratory-directed research initiative seeks to develop resilient, adaptive, and intelligent sensing and control algorithms through the observational understanding and characterization of CPSs under adverse conditions.

Navigating the challenges of connecting hydropower to the electrical grid

PNNL’s Space Science, Technology, and Policy activities draw on diverse technical expertise and research capabilities from across the Laboratory.

This 18-month study will analyze how the region can meet its needs for reliable, resilient, and affordable energy along with decarbonization goals and other energy policies and priorities.

Cataloging and quantifying the economic value of non-traditional value streams in conversions of non-powered dams to hydroelectric facilities
